@cosmicfish, that is one of the best response to any post I’ve seen on collegeconfidential in a long time. Perfect.

@MaybeOnMars, i just wanted to add a note. The only case where internship would be looked as a positive thing for grad. app would be if the internship completely entailed working as a researcher in the R&D department of the company. Few of my friends had internship that involved working as a full-time researcher in industrial setting. They got into Caltech & MIT and similar ranking graduate schools.
